However, I am now having to cancel two of my planned long-haul returns and so it looks too expensive without the X2 promo. Add to that the devaluations and it just doesn't make sense for me without another X2 promo. If AY hadn't enhanced everything I might still go for it, but it's a no-brainer now to keep the cash in the present levels of service. The only actual benefit is the +12 months of Plat/OWE as a soft landing, but is that even guaranteed and will they just enhance it away? But unless something changes or a client would pay for such flights, which I doubt, I'll just end up c. 100k AY TP short of Lumo with c. 100 segments. 100k AY TP would be four long-haul returns in economy or perhaps three in business... so around 4000 eur without promos. Too much given the enhanced non-service.
Wouldn't go the extra mile for lumohood at the moment, too. There is some extra recognition on board and in customers service, but the customer service is just at a level that should be available to all customers imho. It's just responsive as it should be. That's absolutely all of the difference between Platinum and Lumo! Certainly not worth 4,000 EUROS or going any extra mile.
